Description du lieu patrimonial
The Janisse-Schade House, built in 1928, is a two-storey, red brick Colonial Revival style dwelling. It is located on the southeast corner of Riverside Drive and Ford Boulevard in east Windsor (formerly the Town of Riverside).
The Janisse-Schade House is recognized for its heritage value by City of Windsor By-law 339-2000.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Janisse-Schade House is a prime example of the fine homes being built in the Town of Riverside during the 1920s and 1930s. It is a well-preserved example of a Colonial Revival style home and it is associated with a number of prominent citizens from Windsor's past. The Janisse-Schade House was built in 1928 for Eugene Janisse, the Vice President of Janisse Realty Ltd. in Windsor. It was the first home built on the south side of Riverside Drive East between Ford and Thompson Boulevards.
In the mid-1930s, the house was purchased by H.L. Schade and his wife Dorothy. Schade was the President and General Manager of Sterling Products and the Bayer Company Ltd. in Windsor. Built in the Colonial Revival style home, it is characterized by its symmetrical facade, rectangular shape, and shallow hipped roof. It has a prominent central gable-covered entrance porch, supported by a pair of Doric columns. The door is flanked by sidelights and topped by a transom panel with a semi-circular arch and a projecting wooden key. The Doric-columned side portico is topped with a decorative balustrade and dentil trimmed entablature.
One of the most prominent homes of its kind, the Janisse-Schade house is representative of the quality homes being constructed along Riverside Drive as urban development was spreading eastward into the Town of Riverside during the early decades of the twentieth century. With its highly visible setting and picturesque features, it is a landmark along Riverside Drive.
